The first is that the NYC Sex Blogger Calendar days are for SALE!!!! You can buys days for $10 to personalize with your own 80 character message and also pre-order the calendar at the same time. As of right now it looks like we will once again be able to donate the 100% of the sales to Sex Work Awareness if all stays within our projected production costs.
That alone is really amazing that we can once again donate the full 100% of your purchase to SWA and it is all because of our sponsors that as part of this community are stepping forward to give back to us by sponsoring this year.
One of our newest sponsors is Beyond the Birds and the Bees which is the brainchild of AAG. If you haven't heard of this site before go take a look at it and think about submitting your own story. I have one in the works that I will be submitting there at some point in the future instead of posting it on my own blog here and as with the rest of my life these days it could only happen to Diva.
AAG asked me recently one night in a chat the cost of sponsoring and what was involved with it. I don't think anyone thought about having a small site be a sponsor on the calendar this year but it is a great idea for both the calendar and Beyond the Birds and the Bees which will benefit by being able to not only support something as fantastic as Sex Work Awareness and what they do such as their Speak Up! media training but they are also able to promote themselves by being part of this.
I really enjoy when I see all the different parts of this community I am part of come out to support this project. Thanks AAG for sponsoring and thanks for all the Wordpress help you've given me. Don't know what I would have done without it.
I've had somewhat of a crazy week this past week and if you follow me on twitter you would have seen some of it involving my more personal life with family and children. What I have come to accept lately is that I am overextended these days with all that I am doing and what I don't like about that is that instead of doing a few things really well I am doing many things half ass.
I think I'm at a point of reassessing things in my life and weeding out some things once again like I did last summer. I have been exposed to many opportunities over the last year and I think looking toward the future I need to only choose things that really make me happy these days and what direction I want my life and interests to go in next.
There are things that I'm looking forward to working on in the future and I am also tossing around some ideas for changes on my blog here. This has been something that has been building in me and I can see that now by my lack of posting here lately. I'm not really sure exactly what that change will be but I now know I'm ready for something different.
Last Monday I attended Carol Queen's "A reading with friends" and had a really nice time. I knew everyone reading and although I think of them all as my friends I was totally blown away with the talent I saw from all of them that night. It was great to meet Carol in person and talk about her desire for a Center of Sex and Culture here in NYC and working with us to help promote the NYC Sex Blogger Calendar this year.
Dacia read from her secret project she has been working on and what she referred to as a draft that morning totally amazed me. No matter how long or well I know Dacia she always seems to show me a new talent of hers and last Monday night was no exception. As she read she would bring me to tears one minute only to them turn it to laughter the next. I can't put it into words here because it really is something you have to see.
Sinclair is another friend who I have heard read before at a recent In The Flesh but this night she read one of my favorite posts from her blog "My Father's Son." This was such a powerful post when I read it months ago but to hear it read by Sinclair was even more awesome. The last piece read showed me an amounnt of talent within Sinclair that before this night I had only had the opportunity to see in the written words on the a blog I have read for almost two years.
Of course I was thrilled to both see Elizabeth that night and listen to her read and once again I shook my head at how easy she makes it all seem. When I met Elizabeth that night she had just arrived back on a flight from Florida where she presented at a conference that weekend. I don't know how she juggles so much that she does but I really need to learn her secret. Maybe it is the wine and chocolate before bed each night.
Rachel read that night and although I hear her each month at In The Flesh and will again this week I think it was the group she was part of that night that for me made this one of my favorite readings I have heard her do.
Overall the only word I can seem to come up with for that night and the level of talent I saw was amazing. It also gave me an idea (of course) for the calendar release party on November 6th here in NYC.
This week looks like it will be another busy one working on the calendar between finalizing sponsors and now selling the personalized days. Because we print the calendar overseas we need to have all the information ready to send to the designer who I'm looking forward to working with after our discussions about the calendar last year over 3am pizza in my pajamas.
Now I need all of you to go buy days on the calendar and help support Sex Work Awareness and the work they are doing to remove the stigma from sex work. You can buy them by clicking on the buttons over to the right on here and it will take you to Dacia's store to complete your purchase. Think about marking a birthday or promoting your blog.
